We really enjoyed our stay in Riviera Holiday club. Can't wait to be back next year for longer stay! I would like to say thank you to all staff and management - they really made our stay more special! read hotel review

We had a really great time in Sunny Beach. The hotel was incredible, ths shows, the food, the room, the people there it was like a dream coming true :) I can only recommend it to everyone, who wants to enjoy great summer in Bulgaria! read hotel review

The Riviera Beach is very big and consisted of several buildings. Al we in the september were there, was only building 1 of the Riviera Beach in 'operation'.
The hotel is a former regierungskomplex, so fenced, so actually only guests on the site.
The hotel is very spacious and very clean.
There is free wi-fi in the hotel.
When we were there, the average age lay in the rather upper area ☺ there were a few young people there, but also because of the off season could. read hotel review

Gastronomy

4.0

According to x information map of the hotel there were many restaurants, but we could only one of them use (was possibly because of the fact that the season almost over), but absolutely no downside was.
The food was good.
In the morning, there was bread/sausage/honey... Also fried eggs, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, pancakes and salad. As drinks, they offered coffee from the automat and juice.
At noon and in the evenings next to salads there were altogether 6-7 different warm things (so side dishes, meat/fish, vegetables and so on). The selection was not so large, but it was varied and you always found something, what a tastes. Drinks: hot drinks, alcoholic beverages to take, beer at the bar and soft drinks.
2 times during our week stay, there was a conference at the hotel, so some of the tables were reserved. But a problem with space there was still not. The meals were unfortunately in the last few days changed daily, which we found not so nice thought.

Service

The staff was always friendly.
The rooms are cleaned daily.
Than once our room from the room service was forgotten, handed a brief information at the reception and the small 'problem' was repaired immediately.
You can in addition to the towels in the room every day a towel for the pool.
In the hotel you could well communicate in german or english.
A doctor was as far as i know also in the hotel.

Sport & Leisure

5.0

There were 2 pools, one with a small slide for children and a large for swimming.
The drinks at the pool bar are liable to pay the costs and not included in the all-inclusive package included.
There were 3 entertainers. In the morning at 10 o'clock was outside yoga, 2 times a day Bocce on the beach, darts, 17 hours soccer, and water aerobics.
Beach chairs were enough available.
There were showers on the beach.
The beach itself is not so fine sand as you might from other places knows; there are further up some stones, which was a bit unpleasant. The beach drops very quickly a bit from, so that it is for small children maybe not so could be a suitable.

Location

6.0

From the airport varna we have about half an hour to the hotel (direct way airport hotel, as we were the only transfergäste were).
The location is good; you need about 10-15 minutes to the gold beach (with bars, small shops...) As we were from mid/end september were there, some stores and bars after already closed. At the end of the vacation was only there was still very little going on.
The beach is hotel own and one fell quasi from the room directly into the sea.
The centre of varna come one with the bus, which departs from just in front of the hotel (costs per person. 3 leva - cost about 1,50 Euro; very convenient for the relatively 'long' way).
In front of the hotel there was also taxis, but are more expensive (always price). If you 3. or 4. runs, is also the price affordable. We stayed with 4 people 20 leva (10€) paid.
Excursions were offered by the tour operator, we ourselves did not take part in. We heard from other, that some excursions were very recommended.

In our opinion the hotel has no 5 stars. The quality and the variety of food are poor. All-inclusive is a ancillary service in the house and the guests get it to feel. The pool bar is not for all-inclusive guests and a small pool bar for all inclusive guests the soft drinks of sulphurous water. On weekends, the pool area both leisure, as well as the local available.
Overall the hotel we can, particularly as a 5 star hotel, not good. read hotel review

The hotel has unfortunately a somewhat bad aftertaste. When you go all-inclusive, you 'normal' good food. That was not the case at all. The meat was more than tough, the vegetables raw and all the food was bland. No fresh fruit, but canned fruit! Never 5 stars! The hotel gladly again, but only with breakfast, which to some extent was okay. We enjoyed the restaurants (very good and cheap) nearby evening used and therefore more expenditure as planned! So rather not recommendable! read hotel review

The hotel is very well maintained and lies somewhat apart from the ' centre golden sands ' around 10 minutes away on foot directly at the sea.
Wi-fi is available in the entire hotel and the pool in fairly decent speed available.
Large, well-kept pool area with two pools and additional children's swimming pool. The beach is well taken care of and fine grained. Deckchairs and umbrellas are sufficiently available. read hotel review

This is probably a small deficiency in this hotel. One was good enough, and there was always something, that tasted, but you expect more. But it is also not inedible as many write here. There was a frontcoocking station and monday has large grilled.
Soft drinks one taps itself, beer and long drinks at the bar. The drinks were always well chilled, there was real Coca-Cola etc. And delicious beer.

Pool as already written, well maintained and with sufficient couches equipped, as it was on the beach. Beach cloths gets one daily.

Perfect location, quiet during the day and at night! But only a few minutes walk of the attractive promenade. Countless shops pubs bars etc. In the vicinity

The room was appealing and very clean, the maids were always nice and friendly. And the beds were large and comfortable.
Unfortunately there were in the minibar not even soft drinks for all inclusive-guests, it was well stocked but only for extrabezahlung.
Also the bathroom was nothing to complain - always clean and always fresh laundry.

Gastronomy

The dishes were unfortunately often only lukewarm/plates and cutlery were not always sufficiently available, so that you would ' supplies' had to wait. That was partly the offered dishes.
In the lobby-bar there were no saucers! The offered pastry for afternoon coffee you had to on foam plates set, the cutlery were made of plastic and with five (!) stars. The bar itself was preferably for paying guests - for all inclusive-guests had to self-service a few bottles is required. Sparkling wine only on specific pressure in sektgläsern poured out (otherwise wine glasses).

The sun loungers were partly in dauerbelegung respectively were already in the early morning hours' reserved '.

If at the breakfast buffet a little upset was it was not refilled. The orange juice was so great watered down, he almost only from water stock. The selterwasser (only flat water) tastes horrible. Good was the choice of bread and rolls ( they were delicious). I think the choice of meals could have been more must a five star hotel. Otherwise tasted the dishes with sauces all the same. First delicious, then after a few days always the same. It could have been a bit be cleaner, under the chairs were cobwebs.

What directly at the beach, but from the town with the shops around 15 to 20 minutes on foot.

The hotel is directly at the beach. One must only a few meters go, then you directly stood in the fine sandy beach. The Riviera beach is in two houses divided, the however right next to each other is possible. We were in the second building accommodated. The whole hotel with the 500 room. Our room was in a clean and good condition. The only thing, that we to complain about had, were the right way mattresses. That is however always a matter of opinion. We had booked all inclusive. It were German, russians, bulgarians and belgians there. On average ... took the age about 50.read hotel review

Our room was big enough. We had a aktionszimmer with a view of the sea. The furniture was all intact, the shower worked perfectly. In the closet was a safe, the you can use and should. But I would always make. Clean was the room also, only the floor could have been in my eyes somewhat better be vacuumed should. In every room there is a drying rack.

Eat in the restaurant in the hotel. The beverages you can take ( juice, ice tea, water, coffee, tea and wine). All other drinks you get at the bar, also in the restaurant is. It was always sufficiently anpeisen and drinks available. Since in hotels the dishes prepared differently are, as you from home knows, it could happen, that the fare upset. Apart from that delicious! The staff has always pay attention to, that the restaurant clean. The kitchen style I would rather typical of the country to classify. The ambiance in the restaurant was quite pleasant, even if it was quite full. The only thing, that a little annoyed: the waiters clearing the dishes quite quickly from. There it occurred already before, that the last bites in the mouth and the plates were already cleared away.

Since bulgarian not simply learned can, we informed ourselves on English. In the hotel is but also speak German, however rather mediocre. The staff were us opposite always exceptionally friendly, even the maids greeted us always. Every day were the rooms cleaned. On request you got daily fresh towels, apart from that but these were anyway twice per week changed, the bed linen once per week. In my opinion, the floor be cleaner. Against an extra charge let its laundry clean could one. If it is needed, is also a doctor available. Child care there is not, but a daily entertainment program. Whilst dealing with complaints doing the staff a little difficult. There is then already times with the shoulders.

The Riviera beach has a swimming pool and a fitness room, the inclusive is. The fitness room is however rather poorly equipped. Every day, except on mondays, are on the complex entertainers, the amongst others water aerobics offer. In the house 1, there was a small boutique. Apart from that applies: shopping in gold beach center, or after varna (20 kilometer away/taxi, but as fixed price negotiation/more than 20 leva is too much). The three pools on the complex are clean. On the floor from and to time a few stones to find. The loungers by the pool are inclusive, as well as sun screens and towels. Clean the swimming pool, as well as the beach.

The Riviera beach is located about kilometers away from varna. That means: from the airport we are with a stop at other hotels about 40 minutes drive. As I have already mentioned is the hotel by the beach. Closer is not! Nearby the hotel, there is a small kiosk, but not very inviting appears. In case you would like to buy, can one to gold beach center go. From the hotel are the around 10 minutes away on foot. From the tour operator there are several excursions. Since everyone will definitely find something.

From a five-star hotel we would have expected more. Especially with the meals. Choice was very little, taste bad. We were in the way already fastidiously, but could lots of guests watch, the more or less in their food herumstocherten. Otherwise we found out, that camomile tea and zwieback always very was desired, probably was because of the Bauchkrämpfen and the diarrhea, some other guests also had. Breakfast was the best meal (eggs, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, sausages, pancakes and so on). Desserts very poor. We know it is different from our vacations in Spain and the Turkey ( 4 ... stars). The pool was quite dirty, a lot of sand in the pool and dirty, greasy joints at the edge and in certain places on the floor. The staff are rather unmotivated, no eye contact, no smile or a friendly word. The hotel's location is good, directly at the beach, quiet, in 10 to 15 minutes one is in the center ( party Mile). The rooms are fine, the air conditioning you could always walk.read hotel review

We were now twice and we were so on the whole very satisfied.
Which disturbed us somewhat, the during dinner times( something in buffet form was), the Eastern European guests apparently never patience had. In the row to, but always between respectively pushed to the front have. Also fruit from which such as watermelons or cherries, never with the ready located Pliers taken. It was first with the hands rumgesucht which the best are.
This is the only thing which I have to complain about, it was really beautiful relaxed vacation and we will definitely again then flies. I hope ... the it not again 6 yearsread hotel review

We liked it very good again.
It was our 9. in this hotel this time with' all inclusive'. Unfortunately my wife was because of back problems at the beginning of de holidays bedridden. Thanks to the Asehr good organized Arztdienst kame 30 minutes to call from the hotel reception a Azrt into the room, was good and quickly the right diagnosis and initiated the treatment a. So could my wife then the second week but enjoy. Only problem was the mattress, the very worn out. The hotel organized to improve the Liegens a board to wear. In a fully booked ... hotel in July we could no new mattress received!
It was always very hot (33 degrees!). Therefore würdern we rather again in June go there.read hotel review

Super family-friendly, was a great vacation. Food was a little little choice, however very good quality.
Always fresh fruit... And directly at the beach, very rarely at the gold beach is not. read hotel review

Very nice family hotel in quiet but central location. 10 minutes up to the party mile. Evenings nice for strolling.
Pleasant atmosphere also for families with small children suitable. Beautiful pool area and good beach area. Unfortunately the sun screens already in the morning at 6:00 o'clock from retirees reserved, the then not at all at the beach are. Choice of food is not very big, but very tasty.
Negative: drinks machine by the pool, would have been nice, if a pool bar for all inclusive as would be.
Good children's entertainment. Nice bar evenings outside to sit. read hotel review

We spend from 15. Mai 2012 our vacation in Riviera Beach. All inclusive consisted of a basket with Pasteobst, the during the day reputation could, only plastic cutlery, no cookies and so on times for in between, just totally primitive. 2 stars, more this year genuinely not in it. read hotel review

Plus and nice hotel for those quiet vacation with small drawbacks. In our opinion, three + to four stars for five it is not enough. The view from the balcony and the proximity to the beach were just great. Very nice bathroom. The food is wide and actually something for everyone. Nice private Bay (beach fine sand) outdoor restaurant with a view of the sea was very nice. Towels and umbrellas free of charge, a nice indoor pool. Minus-----showers old and rusty pool area could do with a few plants. Umbrellas at the beach could be changed. General too few ... beach chairs and umbrellas (pool/beach) only small all inclusive inclusive beach by the pool (juice coffee-ice cream) I am always annoying is the eternal reserve our retirees from six 00 o'clock (, even though they are prohibited) with five stars hotel staff would have to see it better. Hotel Riviera beach has two open until the end of September. Conclusion. Bulgaria Riviera beach two is well worth a visitread hotel review

We were thrilled by the hotel quite, after some very bad reviews. But the hotel was spotless! The food was varied and good. The room was always clean and very spacious. The hotel is in a very good location right by the ocean with its own beach. About ten minutes footpath and you are right in the middle of the action. To the party street! The staff spoke hardly any German but still had some problems we never had. Animation unfortunately gave it no more, as the season nearly to end was. read hotel review

Food: Plush, varied, delicious, wide choice
Beach: fantastic, as own hotel beach, somewhat remote completely crowded pretty good condition.
View: sea and nothing in between. View of the sea book!
Children: shows, care, taste and a private playground.
Access: 5 minutes on foot to the promenade with discos, bars and restaurants, post, supermarkets.
Cleanliness: also very good.
Why you should book this hotel?
It is a simple great price-performance tip! While on the promenade and the crowded main beach sometimes uneasy and the majority of the guests just stayed there are, it is as a guest of the Riviera Beach ... 5 minutes from the promenade way and come to an area of three hotels. Here there is a ATM, night guard, a bus station and waiting taxis. Activities start here in front of the hotel, during other only for next bus station should be.
A private beach only for guests this three hotels makes it around.
One should consider, that the Riviera Beach a former five star hotel is. 2011 was a dream with affordable price - from 2015 but you should at current reviews check, if it further pleases to be could.read hotel review
